    Great for vloggers!.. but not much else

    The Sony ZV-1 is a great camera for vlog style videos or sit down videos like product reviews but not much else. For me, I was looking for a camera that could do it a little bit of everything. I was hoping that it could be a camera that is for vlogging PLUS a little extra. Turns out, it's for that and only that. I found that the lens angle was also not that wide so if you're vlogging and you want to get some background scenery, you might have to purchase a selfie stick to get more in the shot. The camera did have in body stabilization which is great for when you're walking and filming but it also crops in it so the frame of the video is even smaller. It's great for beginner vloggers, sit down videos, or and perfect for a second easy/quick pull out camera. If you're looking for more than that, you might want to look elsewhere.

    One of the best cameras I've ever had and I got it open box so saved some money at the same time. It's small but powerful only wish it had a small built in flash, then again it takes great low light photos

    Products works extremely well! The only problem is that it has a capped amount of time for recording in 4k. If you want to shoot a video longer than 20 minutes in 4k, you will not be able to do so. Otherwise, this point and shoot camera is amazing!

    It is great, need a wide lense and a converter to take care of wide screen need. Get a frame and external battery, then no problem with battery life. Rather than, great quality 4k capacity, smart focus, mirror screen are great.
